Puzzles don't have to be based on jigsaws and mahjong boards. There are games that break the mold to create something more casual and entertaining. A great casual game that requires a bit of clever thinking is Little Alchemy 2. Check out Marble Run to play a classic game that requires you to build your own tracks.
If you enjoy the pressure and thrill of escape rooms, check out Escape or Die and solve the mystery to escape.

Word games are a popular choice for the wordsmiths out there looking for a challenge. These games have proved popular on CrazyGames. One of the most played word games is Words of Wonders, a casual crossword game. Another casual spin on crosswords is Word Wipe.
Many puzzles involve solving mathematical and numerical challenges. One of the most popular puzzles in this category is 2048. In this game, you merge number blocks with the goal of reaching the number 2048.
Mahjong games are traditional puzzles that are very popular to play online. Two of the most popular titles are Mahjong Connect and Mahjong Classic, which are exactly what you expect from a regular game in this category. You can find more modern twists in games like Onet Connect Classic.
Puzzle games encompass all games with a focus on solving puzzles. Many of these games are traditional logic, word, and tile-matching games like Mahjong. As time has progressed, puzzle games have evolved to include immersive story-driven games with intricate problems to overcome before reaching the next level.
Puzzle video games owe their origins to brain teasers and puzzles throughout human history. The mathematical strategy game Nim, and other traditional thinking games such as Hangman and Bulls and Cows (commercialized as Mastermind), were popular targets for computer implementation.
Chain Shot! (1985) introduced removing groups of the same color tiles on a grid, causing the remaining tiles to fall into the gap.[6] Uncle Henry's Nuclear Waste Dump (1986) involves dropping colored shapes into a pit, but the goal is to keep the same color tiles from touching.[7][8]
Tetris (1985) revolutionized and popularized the puzzle game genre.[9][10] The game was created by Soviet game designer Alexey Pajitnov for the Electronika 60.[11] Pajitnov was inspired by a traditional puzzle game named Pentominos in which players arrange blocks into lines without any gaps.[9] The game was released by Spectrum Holobyte for MS-DOS in 1987, Atari Games in arcades in 1988, and sold 30 million copies for Game Boy.[12]
The 1994 MS-DOS game Shariki, by Eugene Alemzhin, introduced the mechanic of swapping adjacent elements to tile matching games. It was little known at the time, but later had a major influence on the genre.
A physics game is a type of logical puzzle video game wherein the player must use the game's physics and environment to complete each puzzle. Physics games use consistent physics to make games more challenging.[19] The genre is popular in online flash games and mobile games. Educators have used these games to demonstrate principles of physics.[20]
This sub-genre includes point-and-click games that often overlap with adventure games and walking simulators. Unlike logical puzzle games, these games generally require inductive reasoning to solve. The defining trait is that the player must experiment with mechanisms in each level before they can solve them. Exploration games include Myst, Limbo, and The Dig. Escape room games such as The Room involve detailed exploration of a single location.
Sokoban games, such as its namesake title, or block-pushing puzzle games, involve pushing or pulling blocks on a grid-like space to move them into designated positions without blocking the movement of other blocks. Similar games include Baba is You and Patrick's Parabox.
A hidden object game, sometimes called hidden picture or hidden object puzzle adventure (HOPA), is a genre of puzzle video game in which the player must find items from a list that are hidden within a scene.[21] Hidden object games are a popular trend in casual gaming.[22][23]
In tile-matching video games, the player manipulates tiles in order to make them disappear according to a matching criterion. The genre began with 1985's Chain Shot! and has similarities to falling-block games such as Tetris. This genre includes games that require pieces to be swapped such as Bejeweled or Candy Crush Saga, games that adapt the classic tile-based game Mahjong such as Mahjong Trails, and games in which pieces are shot on the board such as Zuma. Puzzle games based on Tetris include tile-matching games where the matching criterion is to place a given number of tiles of the same type so that they adjoin each other. That number is often three, and the corresponding subset of tile-matching games is referred to as match-three games.
As revealed during today's Wholesome Direct, itself part of the larger Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule and associated festivities this weekend, The Star Named EOS from developer Silver Lining Studio is now set to release on July 23, 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. And the new release date trailer makes it look like everything I could possibly want.
If you're not already familiar, developer Silver Lining Studio and publisher Playism describe the game as "a story-rich puzzle adventure built around photography." Behind the Frame, by comparison, was similar but had to do with painting. The Star Named EOS is similar to Behind the Frame in that the player will be recreating old photos left to the young photographer Dei by his mother, who is absent. What exactly that means remains to be seen, but I've preemptively begun to harden my heart.
As noted above, The Star Named EOS is set to release for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 23, 2024. If the hand-drawn puzzler isn't your thing, there is still plenty to look forward to when it comes to upcoming indie games for 2024 and beyond.

The same day I learned that Puyo Puyo Tetris gated its colorblind-friendly Puyos, I personally ran into difficulties playing another puzzle game. I am not colorblind and have perfect vision, but occasionally struggle seeing portable games because I need to look down at my feet to play.
So as it turns out, Puzzle Bobble Mini changes the color bubbles to symbol bubbles when playing on the original monochrome Neo Geo Pocket! Considering the code to change the bubbles to symbols is already in the game, I went into the options menu figuring that I could enable symbol bubbles on my Neo Geo Pocket Color. Sadly, I learned that changing the bubbles was not an option.

This page contains a collection of small computer programs whichimplement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix(GTK) and on Windows. They can also be played on the web, as Java orJavascript applets.2023-09-20: I'm sorry to say that I'm nolonger going to be able to build the MacOS version of these puzzles.My Mac was very old and had been struggling for a while; it's nowstopped working, and I don't intend to buy a new one. If someone elsewould like to volunteer to maintain the Mac front end code and providea downloadable application, I'll help them get started, and link totheir site once it's up and running. Sorry, Mac users. In themeantime, there's always the web version...I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more smalldesktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window andplay for two or three minutes while you take a break from whateverelse you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found agood game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I wassitting at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged thateverything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on boththose platforms and more. When I find (or perhaps invent) furtherpuzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection and willimmediately be available on both platforms. And if anyone feels likewriting any other front ends for platforms I don't support (whichpeople already have) then all the games in this framework willimmediately become available on another platform as well.The gamesThe actual games in this collection were mostly not my invention;they are re-implementations of existing game concepts within myportable puzzle framework. I do not claim credit, in general, forinventing the rules of any of these puzzles.

The 'js' link (and also the puzzle imageitself) links to a version based on JavaScript and WebAssembly.
